But in practice, it's not even common across the BSDs (the major BSDs all have their own *forks* of it instead of maintaining a common tree), and it's never caught on significantly on the other platforms it attempts to support. This is a historical issue that predates MacPorts. Perhaps the question should be asking is, why did pkgsrc never manage to establish a credible foothold on other platforms? -- brandon s allbery [email protected] wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
